VANCOUVER, British Columbia, June 24, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hootsuite today announced the release of Wisdom, a social-first AI agent purpose-built for social and business intelligence.

Social moves fast, and brands need to move faster. More networks, more noise, more pressure, and AI keeps raising the stakes. Yet most AI tools lack access to live social data; Hootsuite research found that 64% of senior marketing leaders admit to running AI tools without it. Wisdom closes that gap.

Article content

What makes Wisdom different is what it’s built on: proprietary social intelligence spanning live social data, historical context, audience behavior, cultural signals, and image detection. That foundation turns intelligence into something organizations can act on in real time. From a single conversation, users can uncover trends, identify risks, create content, and get recommended next steps — all from one connected system.

“We started Hootsuite to help organizations show up on social. Eighteen years later, the ambition is different: not keeping up, but knowing first,” said Ryan Holmes, CEO, Hootsuite. “Wisdom is the intelligence layer that finally lets businesses operate at the speed of culture. Today, we’re helping customers stop reacting and start anticipating — seeing what social is telling them, understanding what it means, and acting before the moment passes.”
